The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Monday decided to start its election campaign with Verve. PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif presided over party meetings where discussions of political and legal issues took place. The PML-N bigwigs also talked about upcoming political tactics.
On Nawaz’s return to the country, it was agreed to greet him warmly. The session also discussed political and legal matters. Nawaz had entrusted tasks to PML-N Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz, the authority to handle affairs pertaining to the party and elections. He also directed for constitution of a committee for the election manifesto of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
The PML-N also decided to launch the election campaign of the party from the current month with public meetings across the country. Nawaz also gave the party leaders instructions to create the party’s narrative for the next elections while keeping the youth in mind.
Nawaz Sharif also directed the senior party leadership to devise the party’s narrative for general election in view of the issues related to youth. “Easy loans for youth and job opportunities will be added to the party’s narrative for youth,” party sources said.
Sources in the PML-N say the party has not yet contacted anyone regarding any electoral alliance. They further claimed that whether the coalition government will enter into an electoral alliance or not has not yet been decided.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had also formed a team to complete the legal work for the return of former premier Nawaz Sharif to Pakistan. During their stay in the UAE, Nawaz and Maryam engaged in important meetings on the political and economic conditions of Pakistan.
On the other hand, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif is set to depart for Saudi Arabia tomorrow after completing his stay in Dubai. His daughter and PML-N chief organizer Maryam Nawaz will also accompany him.
Important meetings of Nawaz and Maryam are scheduled in the Kingdom. A date for the former premier’s return to Pakistan is also expected to be decided during the Saudi Arabia visit. The PML-N and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leaders in a recent meeting in Dubai had reportedly agreed over the “charter of economy” to steer the country out of the crisis.
Nawaz Sharif and PPP leaders Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto discussed the election and other political and economic issues. Sources said that Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari have agreed on the most points of the charter of economy.
However, no breakthrough was reached between them over the election alliance for general elections, they say, adding that the caretaker up would be finalised by taking other allied parties in confidence. It is pertinent to mention here that the two sides have been at odds with regard to the timetable of the next general election after dissolution of assemblies in August.
